RF ROM 7:1 "Do you forget, brethren (for I speak to those who acknowledge law), that the law governs man during the whole time of his life?
RF ROM 7:2 For the married woman is given by law for her husband's life; but if the husband should die, she is freed from that law of marriage.
RF ROM 7:3 Therefore she will be regarded as an adulteress if she goes to another man during her husband's life; but if her husband should die, she is a woman freed from that law, and will not be an adulteress if she goes to another husband.
RF ROM 7:4 "In the same way, my brothers, you have died to the law through the body of Christ, for the purpose of devoting yourselves to another, to the One who was raised from the dead, so that you may produce fruit to God.
RF ROM 7:5 For when we were in our sensuality, the passions of sinners against the law stimulated our organs to produce fruit to death.
RF ROM 7:6 But now we are released from that law that by which we were possessed, having died—so that we may serve in a renewed spirit, and not by an old letter."
RF ROM 7:7 (Jew.) "What then—shall we say the law was wrong?"
(Paul.) "No! on the contrary, I should not have comprehended the sin, except by means of a law; and I should not have known what the lust was, if the law had not said, 'You shall not lust.'1
RF ROM 7:8 But sin, having taken a basis of operations against that command, incited every lust in me. For, disconnected from law, sin is non-existent.
RF ROM 7:9 But I lived then without a law; however, on the command arriving, again sin revived, but I died.
RF ROM 7:10 And for me the command, which was intended for life, was found to be death.
RF ROM 7:11 For sin, having taken a base of operations against the command, defeated me, and by itself slew me.
RF ROM 7:12 Therefore the law is right, and its command holy, just, and good."
RF ROM 7:13 (Jew.) "The good became death to me, then!"
(Paul.) "Never! But sin, so that it might be manifest as sin, in spite of that good, effected my death; so that sin, by means of the command, might be beyond doubt excessively sinful.
RF ROM 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am sensual, completely subject to sin.
RF ROM 7:15 And what I shall do, I know not; for I do not practice what I wish, but I do what I hate.
RF ROM 7:16 But if I practice what I wish not, I agree with the law that it is noble.
RF ROM 7:17 And then it is no longer I myself who am doing it, but sin dwelling in me.
RF ROM 7:18 For I know that no good resides in me—that is, in my sensuality—although the wish lies beside me; but where is the power to avail myself of its benefit?
RF ROM 7:19 for I do not do the good that I wish, but practice the evil that I do not desire.
RF ROM 7:20 I Therefore, if I do that which I do not wish, it is not myself that does it, but sin dwelling in me.
RF ROM 7:21 I consequently discover the law, by my desiring to do the right even while the wrong lies beside me.
RF ROM 7:22 For from the internal man I delight in the law of God;
RF ROM 7:23 but I perceive a foreign law in my faculties, contending against the law of my mind, and dragging me captive to the law of sin which is in possession of my organs.
RF ROM 7:24 I am a wretched man! what can deliver me from this deadly carcass?
RF ROM 7:25 The gift of God through our Lord Jesus Christ! So I myself certainly serve with my mind to a law of God; but by my sensuality to a law of sin."
